Outlook and CPU use

[JayL]

All-
Strange issue with Outlook 2000. Shortly after launching the program I
notice the CPU cycles never go below 60%. This only occurs with Outlook
running. if i stop Outlook the CPU cycles goes to normal.
Anyone ever seen this?

Using Win XP Home SP1 and Office 2000 pro with SP3 on a 2.8 Intel machine.
Any insight is appreciated.
TIA - Jay

Do you have any custom add-ins installed for Outlook? Newsgator? Intravnews?
Newslook? Anything?

No ad-ins. In fact a new machine with a clean install. But the prob was
occuring on the old machine also.

Are you using Word as your e-mail editor? If so, try turning it off and
see if that helps.

using Outlook as email editor. I've basically turned everything off - down
to bare bones operation. Even uninstalled McAfee virus scan to see if that
was causing it.

And it's still happening? Outlook.exe is the process taking the CPU up?
If you look in Tools | Options | Advanced | Add-in Manager and COM Add-ins
are they both empty?
